19. We in California want to vote and have our say.
Tue May 10, 2016, 11:56 PM
May 2016

We waited patiently while the rest of the nation voted. We want to have our vote and have our right to vote in the primary respected.

Bernie is gaining momentum. Hillary is losing it. She won West Virginia by a large margin against Obama and lost it against Bernie by a strong margin. That should tell the Democratic Party something about what it is doing and what it could be doing better.

Before you call the election, let us in the final states have our say.
